Chapter 160 A Gift for Driving People Crazy
The piano at the club was damaged? The way Chris asked, it sounded like it had been vandalized.
Destruction of property. Who would have the guts to do that? And a piano, no less. She had heard those things were expensive.
Cassia paused mid–motion as she played with her phone.
She remembered the piano being perfectly fine when she played it yesterday.
“Mr. Nash.” Brie slowly raised her hand and said, “I was in the last piano class yesterday, and I was also the last one to leave.”
Brie?
Chris looked over at Brie, thinking there was no way she could have damaged the piano.
The other students thought the same.
“You were the last to leave. Did you see anyone suspicious?” Chris asked.
Brie’s expression flickered subtly, as if she wanted to say something but was hesitating.
Seeing her reaction, everyone guessed she might know something.
“Brie, this isn’t some minor issue like breaking a desk or chair. If you know something, spit it out.” Chris looked at Brie with a stern expression.
After struggling for a few seconds, Brie glanced over at Cassia.
“Yesterday, after I’left the classroom, I realized I had forgotten something, so I went back. And then… then I saw Cassia sitting at the piano…”
Danica didn’t care what the truth was. The moment she saw an opportunity, she pounced on it without a second thought, eager to drag Cassia’s name through the mud.
“Mr. Nash, I can back that up. Brie really did forget something and go back!” Danica quickly raised her hand and said, “I went to the club to pick her up yesterday. I went to the classroom with her.”
Just like that, Cassia became the target of everyone’s suspicion.
At that very moment, Seven burst into Draven’s bedroom.

“Boss, our source at Zrario High just reported in. That kid’s getting bullied.”

Frost instantly settled over Draven’s eyes. He braced his hands on the desk and stood up.
“Let’s go. To Zrario High.”
Back in the multimedia classroom, the debate over the damaged piano continued.
“Cassia wouldn’t do something like that.” Rosalie stood up and said, “Besides, I was in that class too. I left at the same time as Cassia and Bric. I didn’t see Danica come to pick up Brie yesterday.”
“By the time I got there to pick up my sister, you had already left. Of course you didn’t see me!” Danica shot to her feet as well, her voice sharp and aggressive. “And just because you say she wouldn’t do it doesn’t mean she didn’t! The only two people left behind were Cassia and Brie. If it wasn’t Cassia, then what, are you saying it was Brie?”
“She has no reason to do something like that.” Sacha stood up too, speaking in Cassia’s defense.
“Yes, she does!” Danica lifted her chin and said, “Cassia didn’t want to learn piano. It was our grandmother who forced Brie to bring her. She didn’t dare take it out on Grandma, so she held a grudge and took her anger out on Brie instead!”
Deep down, Rosalie and Sacha both felt that someone as cool and aloof as Cassia would never stoop to something so petty.
Rosalie spoke up again, “If you’re going to make accusations, back them up with evidence. Don’t just make things up to frame Cassia.”
“Evidence? Brie and I both saw it with our own eyes.” Danica was dead set on pinning this on
Cassia.
Rosalie turned to look at Brie.
“Brie, did you actually see Cassia damage the piano with your own eyes yesterday?”
Rosalie had been defending Cassia this whole time, and it was making Brie uncomfortable.
These past few days, she had been trying everything to get closer to Rosalie, but Rosalie kept following Cassia around like a little sidekick.
“I only saw her sitting at the piano.”

“Sitting at the piano could just mean she was tired and resting.” Rosalie said.
Danica shrieked, “She was sitting at the piano! How can you still say she didn’t break it?
Chris waved his hand, signaling them to stop arguing.

Once Rosalie and the others quieted down, Chris turned to Cassia and asked, “Did you touch the piano yesterday?”
Cassia leaned back in her seat, her long, perfectly proportioned legs crossed casually, looking completely unbothered, as if none of this had anything to do with her.
“I touched it. I played it.”
She was telling the truth.
Chris’s expression tightened, and he snapped at her, “Cassia, do you have any idea what the punishment is for destroying school property?”
